Convenient Access from East Moline
Crossing the Mississippi for a dental appointment sounds like a production, but from East Moline it takes about 22 minutes. Anderson Dental sits in north-central Davenport, and the I-74 Bridge makes it a practical choice for anyone who wants a dentist in East Moline, IL with more than 25 years of Quad Cities experience behind the practice. Appointments start at 7:00 AM Monday through Thursday, which suits commuters who want their care handled before work.
Start at East Moline City Hall, 915 16th Avenue, and head west on 16th Avenue (IL 92). After about a mile, the road continues as 4th Avenue through Moline for roughly 2.2 miles. Turn left on 25th Street and follow 7th Avenue to the I-74 on-ramp, then cross the I-74 Bridge into Bettendorf. Exit to US 6, follow Spruce Hills Drive west as it becomes East Kimberly Road, go about 2.2 miles to Brady Street, turn north, and turn left on East 46th Street to reach 141 E 46th St, Davenport, IA 52806.
The trip is 10.4 miles, and 22 minutes is typical, with bridge and Brady Street traffic adding time at rush hour. Our office is just off the Brady Street and Welcome Way pair, half a mile north of Kimberly Road, and NorthPark Mall is about a quarter mile to the south-southwest.

Why East Moline Commuters and Families Choose Our Office
East Moline was settled in the 1890s and incorporated in April 1907. It has since grown into a city of 21,374 people (2020 census) in Rock Island County, stretching along the riverfront east of Moline. Neighbors such as Silvis, Hampton and Campbell's Island sit right at its edges.
For residents who already cross the river for work, shopping or school, the I-74 Bridge is part of the regular routine. Adding a dental visit to that routine is easier when the office opens at 7:00 AM. Two dentists share the schedule under one roof, which helps cut down on extra trips.
Families are a big part of the city, too. More than a quarter of households include children, and most of the city is zoned to United Township High School, the only public high school in town. Parents juggling school pickups and shifts may appreciate an office that can handle the whole household's needs.
Smart Dental Planning for Life in East Moline
When you live on the Illinois side, every return visit means another bridge crossing. That makes it worth planning treatment carefully. CEREC same-day crowns are a good example: in many cases, the crown is designed, made and placed in one appointment, so a cracked tooth does not have to turn into two trips across the Mississippi.
The riverfront has been reshaped, too. The Bend, a 132-acre redevelopment, now holds apartments, a hotel and Murphy Park and Band Shell. For residents building careers, a confident smile matters, and options like porcelain veneers or Invisalign® for adults can fit around a busy calendar.
East Moline is also an active city. City parks like Empire Park, with its large wooden play structure and access to the riverside bike path, and 22-acre Butterworth Park, with its lagoon and old oaks, see a lot of use. The Great River Trail also passes through town on its way from Rock Island to Savanna.
All that activity means the occasional chipped or broken tooth. Knowing where to go ahead of time saves stress later, especially when the nearest familiar office is across the river.
Technology helps limit those crossings. GALILEOS 3D imaging gives us a detailed look at the jaw when implants or complex repairs are on the table, and iTero digital impressions replace the trays of putty many adults remember. With better information at the first visit, return trips are saved for the treatment itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Anderson Dental from East Moline, and how do I get there?
The office is 10.4 miles from East Moline City Hall, about a 22-minute drive. You take IL 92 west along 16th Avenue and 4th Avenue, cross the I-74 Bridge, then follow Spruce Hills Drive, Kimberly Road and Brady Street. It is a direct route for anyone choosing a dentist in East Moline, IL with an office in Davenport.
Can whitening remove stains from coffee or tea?
Often, yes. Professional whitening can lighten many surface stains from coffee, tea and similar foods. An exam comes first, because crowns and fillings do not change color and some deeper stains respond better to bonding or porcelain veneers. That way East Moline patients choose the option that suits their teeth rather than guessing.
What technology helps East Moline patients avoid extra visits?
Three tools do most of the work. CEREC lets us design, make and place many crowns in a single visit, iTero digital impressions replace traditional molds, and GALILEOS 3D imaging gives a detailed view of the jaw for implant and complex planning. Together they help limit the number of trips you make across the I-74 Bridge.
Can busy East Moline professionals straighten their teeth without braces?
Yes. Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners instead of brackets and wires, which suits adults with meetings and client-facing jobs. New patients can book a free Invisalign consultation to learn whether aligners fit their goals. Early 7:00 AM appointments make it easier for residents near The Bend and elsewhere in town to fit check-ins around the workday.
How quickly should a dental injury be seen?
As soon as possible, ideally the day it happens. An injury can crack a tooth below the gumline or damage the nerve even when the tooth looks fine. Save any broken pieces, avoid chewing on that side and call the office, which offers same-day emergency exams, evaluation and diagnosis. New patients without insurance can use the $49 emergency exam, x-rays not included.
